Black wings beat the air.
The fine tendons rippled smoothly, powerfully; hooked talons on each end gleamed red with the blood of his kill. Indeed his once white uniform was stained crimson. Round golden eyes all took this in and if a cat could sigh then this one did albeit softly; would he ever learn?
A light tmp and he touched down.
The cat's pure black tail swung from side to side like a pendulum. When she judged it time, she walked forward on all four paws. The shadow cast against the alley wall appeared tiny at first, as a harmless feline then grew up as a two-legged human.
A woman, violet hair tied back untidily from her caramel colored face, deep golden eyes with a hint of yellow green gleamed mischievously in the dark surrounding her. "Ulquiorra," she acknowledged him. "Yoruichi," he said emotionlessly in reply.
Her confident smile said it all; she was ready.
A step…a single flash step was all it took and then his arms were wrapping around her lithe frame. She buried her head onto his firm chest and felt his wings envelop her in a possessive cocoon. She'd done it…taken the last step…now there wouldn't be any chance of going back.
As they turned to leave that world; a desperate voice called back to her from the past darkness.
Just one word.
"Yoruichi!"
Before the portal closed and his familiar form racing up to them disappeared from sight forever she whispered, "I'm sorry, Kisuke."
